Electric Utilities continue to invest in the deployment of Smart Grid components and systems globally - But is that enough to make the Grid Smart? Infotech offers a set of specialized services that helps Utilities ensure the success of their Smart Grid programs.
Infotech understands the need for intelligentinformation,seamlesslyintegratedsystemsinbuildingtheintelligentgrid,andofferinganarrayofSmart Grid Glue Services. Our proven integration skills in SAP,Meter Data Management Systems (MDMS), OMS, andGIS together with in-depth knowledge of distributednetwork operations, mobile, and real-time systemsenable Infotech toprovideflexiblesolutions thatmeetbusinessneedsinacosteffectivemanner.
Our leadership in geospatial technology also enablesInfotech to provide pioneering Smart Data Services (SDS)thathelputilitiesquicklyaligntheirsystemswithSmartGridapplications.Weenableutilitiestoarriveataccurate, complete, fully connected, and high qualityspatial data representing all their network assets. Thephased approach, followed in SDS, encompasses adetailed assessment of the “as is” state of existingGIS identifyingareasof improvementalongwith road-map and schedules for performing data consolidationactivitiestoachieveaSmartGridreadyGIS.
Smartnessofapowergridevolvesfromtheintelligencethat is built into the grid. In turn, it is dependent onthe real-time contributions frommillions of individualcomponents suchasadvancedmetering infrastructureand on a backdrop of several hundred thousands ofconfiguration parameters captured in the various ITsystems.Whilethereisnodoubtabouttheimportanceoftheseindividualcomponents,yet,ontheirownthesewould at best provide limited benefits to either theconsumerorutility.

CASE STUDIES
Smart Data Services
Business NeedTo provide a solution to reach a SmartGrid readystatebyassessingan“as-is”stateoftheutility’sspatialinformation. Project OverviewInfotech is executing a smart dataconsolidation project for a US basedutility to ensure accuracy, connectivity,completeness, and quality of spatialdata.
Thescopeofworkcovers:• AssessingthecurrentstateoftheGIS
anddataprocesses• Consolidate the asset data from
legacy systems, substations andtransmissionsources
• Conflatetheelectricnetworkdatatoanewcorporatelandbase
• Establish connectivity to driveapplications such as OMS, DMS,MWM,etc.
BenefitsOptimal asset management usingconsolidated information in the GIS,improved network visualization, betterresponse toemergencies,and improvedcustomerservice&operationalefficiency.
Outage Management System (OMS) Implementation
Business NeedImplement anOMS that supportsSmartGrid technologies and help improvethe quality and reliability of the powernetwork. Project OverviewInfotech is implementing GE Energy’sPowerOn OMS solution for an Asianelectric utility that includes integrationwith existing asset management,customer information, and SCADAsystems.TheintegratedOMSwillenabletheutility’scontrolroomstafftoimproverestoration time by identifying faultsefficientlyandoptimallydispatchingfieldcrew.Thescopeofworkincludes:• Development&customizationofthe
product• Integration with Work Management
System (WMS) and CustomerInformationSystem(CIS)
• Participationintesting&acceptance(factory&site)
BenefitsImproved quality and reliability ofservice,increasedoperationalefficiency,and scalable solution to support SmartGridtechnologies-AMI,MDMS.
MDMS Integration
Business NeedEnableautilitytoconfigureandinteractwith advancedmeters seamlessly usingMeter DataManagement System (MDM)&SAP. Project OverviewMDM was integrated with SAP IS-Uenabling exchange of informationpertaining to the advanced meterssuch as initialization parameters, tariffstructures, identifiers, notificationinformation, measurement parameters,etc.
A generic web services based interfacewas developed using SAP’s integrationbroker PI 7.1 to integrate with a cuttingedgeMDMsystemdevelopedbyourUKbasedsmartmeteringpartner.
BenefitsSeamless and transparent flow ofinformation between SAP IS-U, MDMand GIS; improved analysis, reportingand decision making; and enablingimplementation of billing policies withvaryingtariffstructures.
